Ghampur

Ghampur belongs to the dry plateau country south of Golconda. At Khilla Ghanpur, a fort rises above the surrounding plain beside the reservoir known as Ganapa Samudram. The fort and tank are associated with the Kakatiya dynasty, whose rulers built strongholds and irrigation works across Telangana. Stone defences and stored water gave the hill settlement a place in the region’s older political and agricultural landscape.
